An electrochemical cell is fueled by the combustion of butane at 1 bar and 298 K. Its cell potential is $ \frac{X}{F} \times 10^3 $ volts, where $ F $ is the Faraday constant. The value of $ X $ is ____.
Use: Standard Gibbs energies of formation at 298 K are:
$ \Delta_f G^\circ_{CO_2} = -394 \, \text{kJ mol}^{-1}; \quad \Delta_f G^\circ_{water} = -237 \, \text{kJ mol}^{-1}; \quad \Delta_f G^\circ_{butane} = -18 \, \text{kJ mol}^{-1} $
The velocity-time graph of an object moving along a straight line is shown in the figure. What is the distance covered by the object between \( t = 0 \) to \( t = 4s \)?
Let a line passing through the point $ (4,1,0) $ intersect the line $ L_1: \frac{x - 1}{2} = \frac{y - 2}{3} = \frac{z - 3}{4} $ at the point $ A(\alpha, \beta, \gamma) $ and the line $ L_2: x - 6 = y = -z + 4 $ at the point $ B(a, b, c) $. Then $ \begin{vmatrix} 1 & 0 & 1 \\ \alpha & \beta & \gamma \\ a & b & c \end{vmatrix} \text{ is equal to} $
